Menus / Pages / Posts - Single Language at a time
For menu usage, you need to create a new menu, or use an existing menu, by navigating to “Appearance > Menus”.
First you will need to enable “descriptions” for your menu items, which can be found in a tab labeled “Screen Options” in the upper-right area of the page.
Once descriptions are enabled, follow these steps:
- Create a new menu item using “Link” as the menu item type.
- Use
#for the URL - Enter a navigation label of your choice. This label does not appear on your website – it is meant only to help you identify the menu item.
- Place the following shortcode into the “description” field, and modify it to display the language and navigation label of your choice:
Just swap out language=”” & label=”” to appropriate languages
[glt language="Spanish" label="Español" image="yes" text="yes" image_size="24"]
[glt language="English" label="English" image="yes" text="yes" image_size="24"]
For template use
<?php echo do_shortcode('[google-translator]'); ?>
Page / Posts / Sidebars
[google-translator]
